Famous paintings

1.

CLAUDE MONET  - Impression sunrise - 1872

He was a founder of French impressionist painting. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. 

2.

JAN VERMEER Girl with a pearl earring - 1665

Considered by many to be “the Dutch Mona Lisa” or the “Mona Lisa of the North”, this beautiful painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer features, well… a girl with a pearl earring. The painting was completed around 1665 and is on display in the Mauritshuis Gallery in the Hague, the Netherlands. He specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime. He evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings.

3.

GUSTAV KLIMT   The kiss - 1908

The Kiss is a realistic yet geometric depiction of a kissing couple. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body.He was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.

SANDRO BOTTICELLI The birth of Venus 1485

He was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. 

5.

EDVARD MUNCH  The scream - 1893

The Scream exists in four versions: two pastels (1893 and 1895) and two paintings (1893 and 1910). There are also several lithographs of The Scream (1895 and later). It has been widely interpreted as representing the universal anxiety of modern man. Munch wrote of how the painting came to be: "I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature."

Where: National Gallery, Oslo

Value: $123 mln. The Scream was once stolen and the thieves left a note "Thanks for the poor security." 

It was painted using oil and pastel on cardboard.

6.
